I also picked this one up. The 2x2 says overstuck. It's hard to tell what all is going on with this one. Written on the 2x2: CWR Storecard Broas Bros. NY, NY Fuld# NY630M-12ao R-6 Overstruck VF   |

It looks like an impression of an Indian Head cent. Maybe a vise job before it was stuck for the store card  |

It's a major die clash. The specific die that has the major oddity, was previously paired with a different obverse die - a die resembling an Indian Head cent. |

I like it -
I think I have also seen it with 'Our Country' instead of One Country....perhaps I'm dreaming?

Die clash. I have one with a badly shattered die + the clash. Very cool token!

Yes, a clashed die here. This is common for the variety, and even more stark examples than this one exist. They tend to command a modest premium above the average CWT's, but they are fairly common.

That is one gnarly token. The clash lends it extra character, I can see why this would demand a premium. I'm particularly fascinated by the swervy line that appears to go underneath the O & out of the N.  |

That swervy line is part of the impression of an Indian die that was previously impressed upon the striking die for this token. There are different varieties of these tokens. This could be a bit scarcer than most seen. The shattered dies were used repeatedly, resulting in a variety of eye-catching errors. There are a great many collectable errors within the CWT series, storecards and patriotics, alike.
